Great news for the Thames minibus proposal –the Community Board approved funding at its meeting on Monday of up to $10,000 for preparation of a Business Plan for the proposal, and up to a further $39,000 for the operating costs of the 6 month bus trial.

Secondly Richardson’s Real Estate have very generously pledged $10,000 towards the operational costs of the trial (including the cost of “decals” for advertising on the bus). Richardson’s have also offered to promote the minibus service on More FM on their Community Notice Board and their Facebook page. Another potential sponsor will be considering their involvement next week. teggtalk.wordpress.com...

Acid Test For Firth Fisheries

Denis from Thames

Acidification of the ocean due mostly to fossil-fuelled CO2 emissions could have devastating effects on the aquaculture and fish-food industries, and recreational fishing in the Firth of Thames.

Acidification of the ocean due mostly to fossil-fuelled CO2 emissions could have devastating effects on the aquaculture and fish-food industries, and recreational fishing in the Firth of Thames.

So far the oceans have taken up more than a third of the CO2 we’ve been pumping into the air, and as a result the water is becoming more acidic. Many marine experts rank ocean acidification as the most serious threat to New Zealand’s marine habitats.

This excess carbon dioxide can dissolve the shells of mussels and oysters, and harm plankton that is at the base of the food chain. Higher acidity can cause the larvae of some fish such as snapper to lose their sense of direction, become more reckless and at risk from predators. Squid, kina, paua, and crayfish are also directly at risk from acidification. Harm caused lower in the food chain will ultimately affect other fish species and marine mammals.

Geoff from Ajis Chillies

After a very ordinary summer, we finally get our first 'pick' of Aji Chombo chillies. Tried one raw. Very nice taste with what I would call a mild burn. Plant is still full of more of these little beauties. Hopefully the weather holds and the rest of my 18 varieties and 60 plus plants can… View moreAfter a very ordinary summer, we finally get our first 'pick' of Aji Chombo chillies. Tried one raw.
